their own biography
the whole biography
Oscar Mulero's DJ career has been as prolific and long lasting as the evolution of dance music. As a key figure in its development, Oscar has always absorbed new trends and kept his finger on the pulse of electronic dance music, from the end of the 80’s right up to the present day. It is impossible to understand his genius without taking into account the tireless work he has carried out behind the decks for over two decades. Production-wise he's been releasing records since the late 90’s, with countless 12" vinyls and several studio albums, as well as many remixes for the best players in the scene. He runs Warm Up, his very own imprint, since 2000 as well as the label PoleGroup Records since 2004, both of which have reached the 50 releases mark. On 2013 he started a series of live A/V performances under several project names like Light and Dark, Biolive and Monochrome AV. In 2019 he will celebrate his thirty-year career with a very special secret lineup party in Madrid that will be much talked about because of its concept and the quality of the guests. 2019 also meant the Selection Natural project peak time with releases in Pole Group and performances all over the club universe. The uncertain days of 2020 and 2021 meant a sudden stop of all touring action but Oscar kept busy with his studio work. A bunch of releases saw the light during that period and his audiovisual project Monochrome had some performances under the security environment required those days. Now near the end of 2021 most of the club activity has returned and Oscar has again a full schedule gigwise. We also celebrate his 20 years in production with releases on Token records, Semantica, and his very own Warm Up Recordings with a new limited vinyl series called WUBC mostly available on Bandcamp.Their RA profile lists Tsunami, Tresor, Token, MindTrip and 6 more.Recently at Knockdown Center, BASEMENT · often with Berghain, P.E.A.R.L., Pablo Bozzi, none of them here that night
“THE GOAL IS NOTHING.”
their own biography
the whole biography
THE GOAL IS NOTHING. THE MOVEMENT IS EVERYTHING. Born in the suburbs of Paris and now based in Berlin, Quelza has developed a body of work defined by precision and intent, free from categorisation. His path hasn’t followed scene momentum or passing waves. It unfolds according to its own internal logic — a steady refinement of sound, structure and space. Releases on Dekmantel and Ostgut Ton trace that evolution clearly. Each record carefully engineered: futuristic, grounded, detailed without excess. Tension builds patiently. Rhythms shift and reconfigure. Atmospheres stretch and contract. There is clarity in his music, but never repetition — the framework is solid, the direction always moving forward. Behind the decks, Quelza’s sets don’t rely on genre markers or obvious peaks. He works with pacing, contrast and control — moving between pressure and restraint, density and openness. Rather than chasing reaction, he shapes progression. A regular at institutions such as Berghain, Basement, Fabric and beyond - which reflects something earned over time: trust in his vision and in his ability to hold a room without shortcuts. Quelza’s approach resists short term payoff. The emphasis is on continuity, developing a trajectory that grows with intention over time.Their RA profile lists Ostgut Ton, Mord, 47, Dekmantel UFO and 1 more.Recently at BASEMENT, Knockdown Center · often with Berghain, Virginia, Rene Wise, none of them here that night

Stemming from Lecce Massimilano Pagliara has been based in Berlin for several years where he's been one of the main forces behind recombining the city's hardboiled techno scene with an often overlooked sensibility for the soft and the tender. Call it underground disco passion. Massi describes his style as an eclectic mix of house, disco, electro and techno – one may call it current-yet-classic. DJing has since led to production. These days Massi lets his obsession with analog synths run wild – usually he's holed up in his apartment studio, working on his latest productions. Massimilano's last and sophomore album, ‘With One Another’ (LARJ, 2014), was about celebrating the joy of human encounters and in parts seemed like a big get-together with like-minded artists and friends. The record quickly hit the number one spot in Groove magazine's album chart – and its creator hit the road. Besides his busy DJ schedule and far from the usual club circuit routines, the Panorama Bar resident dedicated himself to intense travelling and exploring the world anew. ‘Feel Live’, Massimiliano's third full-length endeavour was recorded in several intimate, sometimes improvised studio settings between Los Angeles, Portland, and Massimiliano's homebase in Berlin as well as at airports and on intercontinental flights high up in the sky – Massi's most playful and imaginative work to date. It's as emotional as sensual, as vibrant as the first ray of light after a thunderstorm has cleared the air.Their RA profile lists Ostgut Ton, Balihu, Meakusma, Live At Robert Johnson and 6 more.Recently at BASEMENT, Knockdown Center, Earthly Delights · often with Berghain, Boris, Gabrielle Kwarteng, none of them here that night
“From intimate underground gatherings to packed main rooms, ISAbella has become a leading figure in today’s global electronic scene.”

From intimate underground gatherings to packed main rooms, ISAbella has become a leading figure in today’s global electronic scene. As co-founder of the celebrated LGBTQ+ party, platform and collective MARICAS, she has crafted inclusive spaces that celebrate queer culture and foster connection both on and off the dancefloor. Her impact, however, extends far beyond the city – ISAbella is now a powerful presence on the international electronic music circuit, known for emotionally charged sets that blend house and techno into deeply transformative dancefloor journeys. Originally from Cali, Colombia, ISAbella found her creative home in Barcelona, where she co-founded MARICAS in 2018—a party that quickly evolved into a multidisciplinary platform and record label. In 2020, she released her debut EP Audio Exótica on MARICAS Records and launched the livestream series The Art of Staying at Home, which offered a lifeline of connection and joy during lockdown. As a producer, ISAbella continues to explore hypnotic and percussive sonic landscapes that reflect her Latin American roots and club sensibilities. Her music has been featured on respected imprints like Peach Discs and MARICAS Records, with tracks that balance raw emotional intensity and bold rhythmic energy—further solidifying her voice as a singular artist in the global scene. Her reach has since gone global, with standout performances at world-renowned festivals like Primavera Sound, Glastonbury, Sónar, Dekmantel, Dimensions and Lentekabinet. On the club circuit, she’s brought her distinctive sound to iconic, legendary venues including Berghain, Fabric, Nitsa and Fold. Beyond the decks, ISAbella continues to push for visibility and liberation within the scene—championing a vision of club culture that is radical, joyful and deeply human.Recently at BASEMENT, H0L0, Bossa Nova Civic Club · often with Roza Terenzi, Miss Parker, Jennifer Loveless, none of them here that night
“Nita is a noted member of the legendary House of Aviance.”

Nita is a noted member of the legendary House of Aviance. She started DJing around the turn of the millennium and was a resident at the infamous Mr. Black and Westgay, both touchstones for queer artistry and culture in downtown nightlife of the early 2000's. Will has deep roots in NYC club culture, having worked at The Loft and collaborated closely with David Mancuso, holding residencies at many of the downtown New York clubs over the years including The Limelight, Life and Vandam. After dividing his time between NYC and Paris, working on music with fashion houses such as Issey Miyake, Vivienne Westwood and Yves Saint Laurent, Will returned to DJing dance floors when he co-created SPANK with partners Sean B & Jason Roe. What started as a basement dance party evolved into a roving art-based warehouse party along with a namesake zine. SPANK began to work closely with Horse Meat Disco and the close relationship with that crew has extended in various forms through the years into the present. Currently, Nita and Will perform globally as both individual DJs and, more often, as a duo --they are most recognized for epic extended B2B sets and their wildly successful monthly queer party (also known as The Carry Nation) at Brooklyn's Good Room. Their range is wide and exciting, and in the New York tradition they effortlessly flow through genres and time periods while keeping a modern edge. Since the inception of The Carry Nation, the duo has toured the world extensively including Glastonbury’s Block 9 and Berlin’s Berghain/Panorama Bar among many others. They also have a residency at Ladyfag's flagship monthly Battle Hymn. As producers, their credits include releases and remixes on Get Up Recordings, Classic Music Company, TRIBAL, Nervous, TRAX, Batty Bass, TWIRL, W&O Street Tracks and more. Their latest venture is Major Records, an imprint they co-founded with Justin Cudmore to showcase their Majorettes collaboration with releases that are setting dancefloors alight with a fresh but classic house vibe that stays rooted in the excitement of New York’s history and underground.House on 28, Tech House on 7, Techno on 4 and Deep House on 5. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on Nervous Records (2) and Cómeme (1); their RA profile also lists Batty Bass Records, HNYTRX, Twirl, Good Company Records and 1 more. labels on their catalogued releases and on their RA profileRecently at Good Room, Rumi, Umbra · often with Nita Aviance, Will Automagic, Kim Anh, none of them here that night
